bucketed_dwell_times for weekly pattern plus files
I noticed in the documentation (https://docs.deweydata.io/docs/weekly-patterns-plus#additional-column-information) for the weekly-pattern-plus files that the bucketed dwell time has 61–120 and 121–240 as separate categories, but the file only has one category (61-240): “{\”<5\”:0, \”5-20\”:0, \”21-60\”:0,\”61-240\”:0,\”>240\”:1018}”. Am I missing something? Can someone help me figure this out?
Method for estimating the actual count in Neighborhood Patterns Plus
Hello Dewey team,
Unekpected decay in footfall for Los Angeles 2023 (Advan Weekly Patterns)
Hello,
Is it still necessary to normalize Advan Weekly and Monthly Patterns Data using the Home Panel Summary
In the (distant) past when we got Monthly and Weekly Patterns data from SafeGraph, when we wanted to scale, say, the number of visitors per day from a particular CBG, we would use the Home Panel Summary dataset in combination with the Census CBG population count to create a scaling factor that we could to impute visitor counts to an area from the raw visit counts (e.g. https://stanfordfuturebay.github.io/covid19/safegraph_normalization_explainer.html#:~:text=This%20number%20can%20be%20obtained,the%20actual%20number%20of%20visitors.)
Is Advan Monthly Patterns dataset still being updated?
The Foot Traffic / Monthly Patterns data shows the latest available date as June 1, 2025, while the Weekly Patterns Plus is current through September 15, 2025. Is the Monthly Patterns dataset still being updated on a monthly basis?
Question about Missing Values in Traffic Mobile Data (Safeway Stores)
I want to ask about missing values in some weeks of traffic mobile data for Safeway stores. For example, in the city of Kahului, there are missing values across many weeks during 2018. I am trying to understand the reason for these missing values. Could it be because the store was closed, or due to a technical issue in collecting the data in that city?
I also noticed that in some weeks the missing values appear only on Sundays. Could this be because the store was closed on Sundays?
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Methodological Changes in Advan Monthly Patterns in Q1-Q2 of 2023?
Hi,
Advan Monthly Patterns traffic drop in Nov/Dec 2022 -- any updates?
In the documentation of methodology differences between Advan and SafeGraph Patterns, section "No Modeling of Visits/Visitors in Shared Geometries", it describes how a traffic drop was over-stated for NAICS codes including restaurants due to a traffic drop in parks that shared polygons with establishments in these NAICS codes. It says "Advan is actively working on a long-term fix and is running further analyses to understand mitigation techniques and further causes." Has a long-term fix been implemented?
How to distinguish the SafeGraph and Advan Patterns datasets?
Dear Dewey team,
ADVAN Foot Traffic Weekly/Monthly Patterns Filters in downloading
Dear team, is it possible to enable filters when downloading the ADVAN Foot Traffic dataset? Given that I only need 3 regions out of 54 it would be better for me to just have the three needed region instead of the whole dataset. Thank you!
